Abstract :
The PES (Pilot Evaluation System) is a fixed-based, self-contained and autonomous system designed for the screening and evaluation of candidates for pilot training and success as operational pilots. The PES evaluates and analyzes the performance of the candidate, in simulated flight-like conditions. The skills evaluated by the PES are correlated with these needed for the successful completion of flight training. The PES was designed and developed at IAI-TASHAN, by a group of experts, consisting of senior fighter pilots, psychologists, physicians, engineers and flight instructors. The measurement of performance under intense workload, serves as basis for the prediction of future pilots´ abilities. In the PES, workload is defined as the combination of loads imposed on subjects by a combination of tasks in a given environment. Some Air Forces have acquired the PES including the Israeli Air-Force
